Thank You all.

OH is home with a bottle of wine for me.... I burst in too tears ! I feel ashamed, as when I had the dress on I was thinking that if my Auntie (who was my 'Mum') was with me she would of bought it. She has been gone nearly a year so maybe that is why I am feeling emotional.

OH is lovely and as I told him thats why I love him! Still don't know what I will have to spend but I will keep you all up to date when I know.

Again, Thank You

Oh! and I did have some good news , I can get in a 10/12 or 12/14 . I thought I would need a 16!

Yay congrats on the sizing!!

We all have our "princess" moments sweetie - remember the only thing "meant to be" about the day is the man you are marrying, not the dress it will be in Good luck in your search!

i managed to find my maggie worth £1400 new off a fellow mse'r!! she'd had it on ebay and nobody had wanted it so i snapped it of her for a tiny price of £150. (very very lucky)

Just keep checking ebay and preloved. On ebay you can save a search, type in 'maggie sottero carla' and check the box the says notify me of new items to the search then you can keep on eye if anythings listed.

Thats how im hoping to find my jupon underskirt which is around £100 argh!

good luck!

Don't forget to try fat fingers - if someone has put the dress on ebay but spelt it wrong it won't come up on your search. Good luck!

Wow! I have never heard of that. I have looked and found some. Now I need to find out if you have to pay import taxes if I buy one from abroad.

Thank You

You're welcome but they may be copies from abroad, post links on here to check if you're unsure, I can never spot them. Try putting different things into google, designer, style, size, worn once etc. Someone posted on here they couldn't get their dress to shift on ebay and I think they hadn't put the style on

Hi,

I went with my friend yesterday to try it on again and she agrees its the best! So I need a size 12 and at the moment my budget is 275 ! Not much for a Maggie I know.
